http://www.afreecatv.com gets auto-translated to English for me a little bit after the page loads in Korean. This is different from Afreeca's global site (http://www.afreeca.tv/). Pretty neat. Seems very recent, as it didn't do this for me yesterday.

Not all pages are translated, but the main ones are. It was pretty easy to navigate before, but it is cool to see that they care about us a bit.

Also, I found that I can now chat using my foreigner Afreeca account that I created a year or 2 ago. This didn't work before, as I never bothered to submit my ID for verification.

Now we can chat with Koreans

edit: seems like they are still implementing payment options for donations/balloons/candies/stickers

We should totally pool some money and then donate a large amount of balloons or make it a prize of a showmatch or something.

cool stuff. On a side note, what is with afreeca requesting personal documents to verify your age? They were asking for my driver's license and other personal documents. Anyone know whats up with that?

The identification/documents are there to just verify that you are of age to view the adult section and other things. You should still be able to create an account and chat without submitting those things. At least, that is how it was for me 1-2 years ago.

This is probably a reaction response to lots of migration of former/ex Afreeca Korean streamers moving to Twitch.tv lately. Even popular Korean streamers have been migrating to Twitch lately.

I haven't noticed any ex-BW players to Twitch lately. Nal_ra actually went from Twitch to Afreeca from what I believed. But lots of variety gamers and talk show streamers moved from Afreeca to Twitch.

And if there's one thing about Korean streams, their viewers are super loyal enough to actually move with the streamer from Afreeca -> Twitch. That's why new Twitch Korean streamers sometime starts with hundreds to thousands of viewers that all migrated with the streamer. Sometimes a Korean streamer who has 900 followers on Twitch is already a Twitch partner. There's even a dedicated Korean Twitch community site for Korean streamers/viewers that's all 100% Korean.

gorush was also partnered with twitch korea as well and made the move over to afreeca - there's no reason for bw streamers to move to twitch, but if you're doing stuff not bw it makes sense to.

This is really good! The only thing left to do is to make video's run smoothly without lag as twitch's.

Do you maybe have insight into the ability of a foreigner living abroad to be able to receive donations, and withdraw the funds?

So that's why several days ago when streamer goes off says "The broadcast has finished" or something.

Hm, my old account got apparently deleted. Lame. Also, what do they mean with "password not in the correct form"?

Doesn't sound like it would be worth it then (As if they would be getting my personal information, ha.)
